Sneak Peak ‘I am of opinion, upon the whole, that the manufacturing aristocracy which is growing up under our eyes is one of the harshest which ever existed in the world; but at the same time it is one of the most confined and least dangerous. Nevertheless the friends of democracy should keep their eyes anxiously fixed in this direction; for if ever a permanent inequality of conditions and aristocracy again penetrate into the world, it may be predicted that this is the channel by which they will enter.’ Synopsis The renowned book Democracy in America (1835, 1840), written by French sociologist and political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859), was based on his extensive observations made while on a 9-month, 7,000-mile tour across America in 1831 from post-revolutionary France researching the American prison system. Tocqueville considered the thriving democratic system in America as a potential model for post-revolutionary France because he thought the egalitarian principles it upheld captured the spirit of the time and even the intention of God. Tocqueville's writing continues to be an important resource for explaining America to Europeans and for explaining Americans to themselves because of its sharp observations on equality and individualism.
